Tax evasion 'costs lives of 5.6m children'

The lives of more than five million children could be saved in the developing world – if the super-rich and the world's largest companies paid their fair share in taxes, according to a leading British charity. In Death and Taxes: the True Toll of Tax-dodging, Christian Aid says that the extent of tax abuse "is so widespread and damaging that it is tantamount to a new slavery".

Friends pay their respects to family of Jimmy Mizen at church service says the Times

Scores of youngsters left their Roman Catholic church in tears yesterday after paying their respects to the family of Jimmy Mizen, the 16-year-old boy who was stabbed to death at a bakery in southeast London.
Jimmy’s parents, Margaret and Barry Mizen, and his six brothers and two sisters were joined by 300 people for Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes church in Lee, just 200 yards from the site of the attack. Jimmy’s eight-year-old brother, George, was one of the altar boys

The Guardian reporting that

Jimmy Mizen, described by police as being of "immaculate character", was killed on the day after his 16th birthday when he went out to buy his first lottery ticket as part of his celebrations.
Detectives said he had been in the Three Cooks shop in Lee, south-east London, with his brother Harry, 18, on Saturday morning, when he was challenged to fight by another youth. When Jimmy, a 6ft 4in tall rugby fan, refused, the other teenager left, but then smashed down the door, shattering the glass, and entered wielding an advertising board. In the "excessive" unprovoked violence that followed, Jimmy's throat was cut with glass.

Postcode lottery claims heart attack victims says the Telegraph

Heart attack victims in London and other major cities are diverted past their nearest A&E to special hospital units where they have an operation to stop the attack.
But in many rural areas patients are either given less-effective drugs in the ambulance or receive them at their local hospital.
Patients who receive the operation, known as primary angioplasty, are at least twice as likely to survive, suffer less damage to their heart, leave hospital on average two days sooner and have a better quality of life afterwards

Both the Mail and the Express focus on prices

Families now need £1,000 more than this time last year - just to put food on the table says the Mail

The annual increase in the price of a basket of essentials surged to 19.1 per cent in May, according to the Daily Mail Cost of Living Index.
The rate has jumped alarmingly from 15.5 per cent in April – a 3.6 per cent rise – and there is no sign of the pressure easing.

Family tax bill up 51% says the Express

In simple cash terms, ignoring the effect of inflation, the increase is an even more eye-watering 76 per cent.
The increase in up-front and sneaky stealth taxes over the past 11 years is equivalent to £8,500 a year for every household.
The total tax paid by the country has risen by £223billion a year to £517billion – or £20,700 per family. And the pain does not end there.

Johnson admits £6bn black hole in funding of care for older people

Without new sources of funding, the government expects "a £6bn funding gap for social care" to emerge within 20 years
